Which UK internet supplier is best? + Advice Please

What router are you using?


For your internet MAC address:
Go to your control panel > Network connections > right click the connection you're using > status > support > details (or start menu > accessories > command prompt > enter "ipconfig")
Check your default gateway (should be something like 192.168.1.1)
Access that IP address via your web browser.
You should be prompted for a username and password (try "admin" and "password", it usually is the default setting for most routers I've used; if not, do a quick google search on your router's model default username/pw)

Once you're in, search for something related to "Router Status" or "Internet Port", and you should see the MAC Address (e.g. 00:11:2B:33:4E:55)

My brother was with virgin media and he said whatever you do don't go to them due to the poor customer service and connections he got.
